I suspect they're one of those things that some people will find
useful, and that others will cheerfully ignore. The idea is that the
landmarks give you information about the bit of the page you've navigated
to. Where other quick nav keys will move you around, they don't tell you
what you'll find when you've got there. Landmarks will tell you that you've
arrived at the part of the page with the search, navigation, main content
and so on.

Good, I too had had a look around the config options and couldn't find
anything that looked promising.
So looks like its just another one of those things that I can't really see a
reason for! Using the shortcut key to move between them doesn't appear to
achieve that much. Or perhaps I'm just being a bit harsh because its
something new. Best not jump to an instant dislike until I've given them a
fair crack.
Darran, looking to be all understanding in this new era of progress!
